My son

 Two more days of exams, senior picnic, senior pool party, senior bbq, senior yearbook signing, senior clean up, senior luncheon, senior party, graduation practice, graduation, after graduation party and then two more graduation parties after that. I swear my son needs a social secretary to help him keep up with the next ten days.  Just reading that makes my head spin. I am so very excited for him. It has not hit either one of us that his high school career is just about over. I am so very proud of him I could burst! He made it through high school with grace and without too much complaining. I am excited for him to start his new phase in life. It’s hard feeling two emotions equally. Joy, because he has been given this amazing opportunity to go away to college, but sad, because I will miss him. Not just as a person but also the things he does for our family without hesitation. Picking up sister from practice, running out for dinner, getting last minute groceries, taking the trash out, cleaning up, mowing the lawn, the list goes on and on. His absence will leave an impact on our lives for sure. But, wow! College. Off on his own to discover whom he is without the family as a safety net. Not that he has used us too much. He is pretty independent and for that I have no hesitation sending him off on his own. So I say this morning, Congratulations Son! You have made me proud. I love you so very much and am awed at the man you have grown into.

 

Hugs!
